Welcome to the CATS Dreamweaver landing page. What follows are quick tips to getting Dreamweaver setup and configured to access Science Center hosted web sites. For detailed instructions on using Dreamweaver please utilize the Lynda.com service the college provides.

How do I get Dreamweaver?

Dreamweaver (CS6) is site licensed at Smith College. If not already installed on your computer please send a request to the ITSC. ITS is looking into providing Adobe Creative Cloud to campus. This will include the new version of Dreamweaver. Ultimately, the plan is that all software will be available via a self-service distribution mechanism. Stay tuned! Dreamweaver CS6 is already installed on all CATS support classroom computers.

What about Contribute?Adobe Contribute is not needed nor supported on CATS provided Science Center web servers. If you need to use Contribute to edit a College Relations supported website (www.smith.edu) please contact the ITSC or College Relations for support.
